Yes brake pads and discs needed changed twice as back breaks have design flaw and are susceptible to picking up dirt etc and bind the pads and disc together also electric fault as body control module needs replaced (which was quoted at £1000) but managed to get it reset it seems to be working now but mechanic said it could go at anytime. roughly over £1000 spent on bills alone in six months of owning the car.
